Comment:

Professor Nayak was extremely clear on the content of the course. She has an excellent capacity of concision, which allows you to understand the course very easily. She gives you the opportunity to get passionate about one topic through the semester project. The only negative comment would be that I wish she'd gotten deeper in concepts sometimes.

Comment:

This class didn't really have a clear-cut curriculum or textbook and was discussion based which made it confusing sometimes, but Nayak's sarcasm and humor made it bearable. She gives amazing feedback on all assignments and is always willing to help if you email her or visit her office hours. No midterm, final paper was easy, plus a take home final!

Comment:

First of all Nayak is absolutely brilliant and has such a great personality. She is very strict about cell phones and talking in class, but in the long run it definitely helps the class to be more engaging. Plus you respect her rules just because you don't wanna disappoint her! Definitely take her for any class because you will learn SO much!

Comment:

She is the best professor, and I didn't even see her face. I took an online course called Introduction to International Relations. She was extremely clear with what I had to do in order to get an A. Very helpful, knowledgeable and a fair grader. I got an A really easily. All I did was read the material and write 1-2 pages about it. TAKE NAYAK.

By far the best professor I've ever had at Pace. Extremely clear, interested and invested in her students, and HIGHLY knowledgable. Every professor at this institution should use her as a model for true higher education. I came out of her class with a wealth of applicable knowledge. TAKE NAYAK.

Professor Nayak is awesome. I had two classes with her, both were a lot of work compared to other classes but if you put in the effort it will be reflected back in your grade. If you want to learn something take any of her classes, you will not be disappointed! She is a fair grader and very engaging in class.

Nayak is a powerhouse and an amazing teacher. It is obvious and appreciated that she is passionate about every topic we discusses in class. You will learn how to be a better activist and share your ideas in a safe space. She puts in the effort and you need to as well. The readings can be a little dense but put in the work & you'll see results.

Comment:

Professor Nayak is incredible. She is extremely helpful, very clear with what she expects and wants out of her students, and is super respectful. The class was basically just a discussion about the readings that she posts on blackboard (no textbook). The take home final was easy as long as you went to class and participated. Definitely recommend.

Comment:

By far the best prof at Pace. She strives for you to know the information & know it well. She is a genius & has the answer to any question posed. Her open concept classroom allows for in depth discussion versus just a plain lecture which allows you to really gain full comprehension of the material. Take Nayak and your life will be forever changed.

Comment:

Nayak is great. She is so passionate about international relations and will be SO glad to answer any questions. She is dedicated to helping you learn, so if you're struggling - ask for help! Be sure to know that she does expect a LOT of reading. Be ready to dive head first into IR if you're going to take it.

Comment:

Nayak is great, just as long as you're on her good side. Now that she runs the Honors Dep, she's downright dangerous. Do take her classes, as they're interesting, but do not get too close to her. And do not disagree, she believes she holds the monopoly on the truth. Keep your distance and you'll be fine.

Where do you even begin with dr. Nayak? She is Genius and one of the best Poli Sic Prof's at Pace. I try to have her every semester because her classes are just that good. You always walk away feeling knowledgeable and knowing she will support you if you need it. Dr. Nayak is the best period.

Comment:

I've taken just about EVERY class she's taught and then some lol. She's great, one the best things that ever happened to me while at Pace! Very detailed and approachable, she only gets irked if you walk into class late often, text during lectures, or blatantly ignore someone who is making a point. You haven't been to college until you've had her!

Comment:

Nayak knows everything. She explain everything to you as best she can, and if you still don't get it, you can ask and she'll explain it more. She genuinely wants everyone in her class to learn all of the material. However, don't take her if you don't care. Be ready to do all the reading she assigns (which there's a lot of) and contribute in class.

Great Professor, assigns a lot of reading if you take her honors section. She expects it to be done and you can not get away with anything. If you are prepared, you will learn a lot.

Nayak is an amazing professor! I originally had no interest in the subject but after taking her POL 114 class I really enjoyed it! Show up to class and read the notes she posted online and you will do great!
